Taken from inside the Prayer holder. On the shrine grounds you can shake this can thing and it will give you a fortune, if it is a good fortune you carry it with you, if it is a bad fortune you tie it onto here and the gods will make it go away.

before you drink/eat it is polite to always say Itadakimasu. In tea ceremony you bow your head and hold the 'ochawan' or 'tea bowl' above your head.

reading megan's blog is better than sleep. and that's saying a lot. im sorry you got hurt meg!
so is that your clear umbrella, ella, ella, eh? that's pretty sweet. im sorry to hear that you fell off your bicycle megan, i would have stopped and helped you up dude, cuz that hurts! that's cool tho that you got to go on a vacation kinda, luckily i havent seen the movie hostel, or else i prolly would have turned back time and had you not stay in one. but i mean, jackie had some good experience there, so maybe it's def worth it? i like that ferris wheel, it kinda looks like you need to be high to ride on it tho - high as in altitude, of course (in case your mom reads this) ha, but in all seriousness, that kinda is insanely tall. alright, i hope you're doing good megan good.

nice wound
I thought we taught you had to ride a bike along time ago. I guess I'd probably be out of practice too by now though. I'm happy you are having a good time. At some point I am going to get caught up on this blog now that I am on break, but that probably won't be tonight. Have fun.
